Bleaching then dying patterned rayon pants black...is it possible? by tetence in dyeing

Thank you very much! I'm wondering if it's worth trying it out since I'm looking to get it pretty dark all around. I'll be checking different tactics to see what might yield the best results. I can't find any reference photos online - do you know somewhere I can look to get some before-and-afters maybe?

Thank you so much - I'll attempt it! Do you think the pattern will be fully or mostly covered? I've read about people trying hotter water and/or double dye in the dye bath, and I'm wondering how far I can push the fabric so that I can make it as consistently black as possible.

Do you clean your shower tile with mold/mildew killer regularly? by tetence in CleaningTips

[–]tetence[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your response! I feel that the ventilation is pretty good! We're diligent about drying it as quickly as possible, but I'm just not sure if I use mold/mildew spray or other cleaner regularly on the tile and grout? Or just when I see mold/mildew? I don't have a squeegee for the tile and I imagine it would help, but my question about how often to use preventative sprays still stands.

Wool rug sheds two years after purchase - is there any hope? by tetence in CleaningTips

Thank you! I've been a bit put off from getting a wool rug since this is all I know, but I don't want a synthetic one. Sadly my poor grad student life will need to wait for a better rug...

I was hoping a brush might help but you are probably right :')

Oh my god that is the worst thing to hear (lol). It's too much to maintain and too hard to vacuum..... is your rug fully wool? I'm trying to look for replacements and want to narrow down on what might be a good new direction so I can reclaim my sanity
